In terms of national strength, Goryeo was even slightly stronger than Xixia. After all, their population was much larger than Xixia.
However, when Yue Fei's army came over, its performance on the battlefield was not even as good as Xixia's.
Although Xixia was weak, it still retained its wild spirit and dared to fight. In history, even Genghis Khan was bitten to death by Xixia.
But Goryeo couldn't do it. They studied Confucianism too deeply, which resulted in an explosion in combat effectiveness and internal chaos.
Yue Fei's army has all rushed in, but his two squads are still fighting for power internally and holding each other back. Their performance is just like the Great Song Dynasty during the Jingkang period.
This war to destroy the country went very smoothly, and the so-called "three thousand miles of country" he boasted was just a boast in front of the Yue Family Army.
Yue Fei swept across from north to south and encountered almost no decent resistance.
Li Yunze quickly restored the specifications of the four Liaodong counties in the Han Dynasty, except that the counties were changed into prefectures, and a separate road was set up here.
In order to prevent them from running away again in the future, and even running to be concubines for the Angsa bandits, Li Yunze directly packed up the Korean scholars together with their families and shipped them all to overseas islands for resettlement.
Later, immigrants migrated from the interior, and a large number of students were arranged to become officials. Naturally, veterans of the Yue Family Army retired and became subordinates in the local area.
The most important thing is that Goryeo's original land and all resources were in the hands of its royal family and Yangban family.
After they were all packed up and sent away, the confiscated land was distributed to the landless people, making the local people immediately become the strongest supporters of Li Yunze and the Song Dynasty.
The reason is very simple. Those Song people are propagating that if their former king and those two classes of families come back, they will definitely take away the land again. If you want to protect the hard-won land, of course you must hug the Song Dynasty tightly. thighs.
If this trend continues, in a few decades this place will be permanently stable, and the disgusting thing of being thrown into the arms of an Angsa bandit as a concubine will never happen again.
Han Shizhong was not idle either. After swallowing Xixia, he continued to mobilize troops on the grassland.
The Song army, which no longer lacked horses, formed a powerful cavalry regiment and regularly went deep into the grasslands to capture local tribes.
The cavalry group had excellent maneuverability. After finding the tribe, they immediately surrounded them and persuaded them to surrender.
The reason is that it's best if you obey and surrender. If you don't want to, just have a fight and then capture them all.
Normally, no tribe would be so stubborn as to fight to the death when they see thousands of leather-armored cavalry surrounding them.
This is not a hundred years later. In this era, the Mongol tribes have not yet plundered the world. For tribes who lack smelting technology, an iron pot is a family heirloom, let alone iron armor.
They have no shortage of leather armor, but the defensive power of leather armor cannot be compared to that of iron armor.
The tribal leaders will be disposed of, and the remaining herdsmen will be dispersed, mixed with the people of the Song Dynasty in the interior, and then graze on the designated pastures.
There will no longer be tribal forms, everything will be divided according to prefectures and counties.
There were too many tribes on the grassland, and Han Shizhong needed time to devour them one by one, then deal with the U-turners, disperse the herdsmen, and reorganize the people into households.
Li Yunze was not in a hurry about this. He just asked Han Shizhong to go to Beihai. There was no need to go further north for the time being.
At this time, Mengwu is not strong at all. The only thing he depends on is that the place is big enough and the tribe can run.
As long as the Song army is determined to solve the problem of cavalry mobility, there will be no problem in winning.
Maritime trade was developed during the Song Dynasty, and fleets even sailed as far as the Strait of Malacca, reaching the spice plantations in India.
Li Yunze once witnessed this in the Yashan world.
Countless ships were assembled, carrying thousands of soldiers and horses, and started a traditional repertoire that Li Yunze must have in every world, to go to Fusang.
The first to come ashore were the levies from many tribes in the North and the surrendered troops from Goryeo and Xixia.
They did not receive the same treatment as the regular Song army, and even their salary was only one-third.
The only thing that maintains these people's morale and desire to fight is rewards.
Li Yunze has always been willing to give out high rewards and never encourage looting.
Once the regular army starts looting, it will no longer be a regular army, and the blow to morale and image will be huge.
The reward he gave to the Japanese warriors was fifty guan of gold or thirty bolts of silk each.
Of course, this reward cannot be compared with the Jin Army. After all, the Japanese people are short and thin, so the reward will of course be reduced.
The morale of the tribesmen and surrender soldiers was very high. After landing on the shore, they defeated the Japanese soldiers and horses one after another and occupied a large territory.
After the Japanese reacted, they began to fight back, and large-scale decisive battles broke out on both sides on land and at sea.
The battle at sea was uneventful. Just like the Battle of Baijiangkou hundreds of years ago, the Japanese fleet of small boats was easily defeated and annihilated.
In the battle on land, the Japanese warriors who had just begun to show their prominence taught the tribesmen and surrender soldiers a lesson.
These warriors are very brave and even fearless of death.
Taking advantage of the mountainous terrain of the Japanese country, they defeated those surrendered soldiers who were greedy for success and wanted to snatch their heads in exchange for money.
After all, they were surrendered soldiers and tribal soldiers. They did not receive the iron armor equipment that the regular Song army had. They suffered great losses in the face of Japanese swords that imitated Tang swords, and were even almost driven into the sea.
However, the madness of these warriors only ends here.
Because just a few days later, Yue Fei personally landed with the main force of the Yue Family Army.
Facing the regular Song army who had fully popularized Zhajia and Burenjia, the Japanese warriors cut off their samurai swords and could not break through the armor.
If you can't break through the defense, you can only let others take advantage of you.
The extremely experienced Yue family army swept across the Japanese country with ease and completely destroyed its resistance.
Moreover, according to Li Yunze's instructions, a special troop of troops was shipped to Hokkaido to deal with all the barbarians above.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These Hokkaido barbarians have done all kinds of evil when they invaded in history, and they even like to eat XX.
There is absolutely no need for such a beast to exist.
Li Yunze was quite ruthless in the Japanese country, and even Yue Fei couldn't stand it, so he took the initiative to write a letter and give some tactful persuasion.
Li Yunze's response was very simple, 'Follow the arrangements!'
As for the arrangements he mentioned, they are much stricter than those in other places.
Anyone who could make a living was disposed of. Ordinary Japanese were sent to various copper, gold, silver, and sulfur mines to trade their lives for ore.
Those fields, which were rich in nutrients and made of thick volcanic ash, were distributed to Song people who were willing to immigrate here.
Yue Fei felt that he was too cruel to these short and thin Japanese, so he wrote several times to ask the officials for mercy.
Regarding this, Li Yunze was really angry and helpless.
People of this era have no idea what evil these descendants of the Japanese have done!
If he hadn't known that Yue Fei would strongly oppose it, Li Yunze would never have allowed those islands to have a population.
In the end, Li Yunze had no choice but to simply transfer Yue Fei and the Yue Family Army away and go south to deal with Annan and Dali, leaving Zhang Jun to keep an eye on things on the island.
Compared to Yue Fei, who has a sense of justice, Zhang Jun is much simpler and rougher.
After he led his troops to the island, he changed Yue Fei's previous blockade strategy and directly sent troops all over the mountains and fields to capture the Japanese living in the mountains and forests.
You must know that Japan is a mountainous island country, and more than 70% of the country's territory is mountainous.
Most of the Japanese, including the remaining resistance forces, were hiding in the mountains.
Zhang Jun arranged for surrendered soldiers and tribal soldiers to go into the mountains to capture people, then withheld their rewards and gave them to his troops, and then sold the captured Japanese to the many mines managed by the inner government to make another profit.
Because he could make a lot of money, he worked very hard and captured many Japanese hiding in the mountains and forests.
Of course, his behavior also offended many people, and there were many impeachments against Li Yunze.
It's just that Zhang Jun was able to constantly find and catch the Japanese who were hiding. Based on this, Li Yunze always turned a blind eye.
Until Zhang Jun went too far and even began to blatantly occupy the land and distribute it to the retired veterans under his command.
Land allocation is Li Yunze's taboo, something that no one can touch.
Then, Kang Lu from the Ministry of Internal Affairs went to Fusang with the imperial edict and scolded Zhang Jun severely, which made him become more honest.
If nothing else goes wrong, the ruthless Zhang Jun will stay in the Japanese country for a long time until the Japanese on the island are captured to the point where they are useless.
After going south, Yue Fei also acted very quickly. After his request for Emperor Duan Heyu of Dali and the Gao family, the real power official, to go to Bianliang City was rejected, the Song Dynasty, without the burden of idols, simply used it to regain Han Dynasty.
In the name of Tang Jiudi, they invaded Dali
In the past, when the headscarfs were in charge of the country, they attached great importance to their own face in the history books. For the sake of face, they would even hand over the land that the soldiers fought for with their lives. It was absolutely a bottomless pleasure.
Li Yunze doesn't want to lose face here. He will hit you when he says he will, and he will just find any excuse.
It’s not just a random excuse, because Dali is indeed the old land of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and so is Annan.
The whole of Nanyang is a back garden.
The problem now is not whether it can be defeated, but the terrain and diseases of the rainforest over there.
In this regard, what Li Yunze can do is provide pesticides and medicines.
Dali's resistance was fierce, but of little use.
Facing the truly powerful Song army, their resistance was destroyed in just over a month.
A hundred years later in history, when Dali faced Kublai Khan's conquest, he could not even hold on for a month.
But when dealing with Dali, Li Yunze was much gentler.
Duan Heyu was not disposed of, and he could even take his concubines, the prototypes of Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing, to live in Bianliang City with the Duke's salary.
As for the Gao family, they simply chose to surrender after their defeat and were not too targeted.
The entire family was split up and placed under supervision in different places in the Song Dynasty. After leaving Dali, they had little influence at all.
Later, Dali established the Yunnan Road, arranged the distribution of fields and land among prefectures and counties, and other matters, and returned to the embrace of the Central Plains dynasty.
The acceptance level in Dali is relatively high, and it quickly stabilized after some reassurance.
Annan, Myanmar and other places further south have become the next targets of action.
